Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup fresh orange juice
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 (16 ounce) sirloin steak (1 inch thick), cut into 1 1/4-inch pieces
8 (12-inch) wooden skewers, soaked in water 30 minutes
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 (10 ounce) zucchini, cut on a long diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick slices
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Mash garlic to a paste with salt using a mortar and pestle or flat side of a large knife, then whisk together with orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, cumin and oregano in a bowl.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (375 degrees F to 450 degrees F).
  • Thread beef on 4 skewers, leaving a little space between each piece. Put skewers on a baking sheet and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper. Thread zucchini onto 4 skewers so slices can grill cut sides down, then transfer to baking sheet. Lightly brush beef and zucchini all over with oil.
  • Lightly oil grate and grill beef, covered with lid, turning once, about 4 minutes total for medium rare. Transfer to a serving platter and cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Lightly oil grate again and grill zucchini, covered with lid, turning once, until grill marks appear and zucchini is just tender, 4 to 5 minutes total. Transfer skewers to a serving platter. Drizzle beef and zucchini with about half of sauce, and serve remaining sauce on the side.

I'm a big fan of Cuban food. But even if you've never had the pleasure of trying it before, you will love these beef and zucchini kebabs! My first time making them, I did not have any mojo sauce on hand. They were so good without it, I bet they are a

These kebabs were a hit at my last party! The mojo sauce is tangy and flavorful, and the beef and zucchini were cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making these again.
